MEET THE OLD CODGER

Chasing childhood.
One comic at a time.

I’m an old guy chasing my childhood through comic books. I sold my childhood collection in 1984—and, like many collectors, I’ve wished ever since that I still had it.

Today, I buy collections hoping to recover some of the comics I first owned and loved during the 1960s and ’70s. The duplicates and overflow go into my booths, Showcase 6, and eBay store.

So when you buy a comic from Old Codger’s Comics, you’re helping this old collector continue the chase.

“Buying comics is more fun than selling them.”
